But, is it a “Value for Money” device? Let us discuss further on whether to buy this product for such price bracket or not.

OnePlus Company is known to build some extra ordinary products and has become a good emerging brand in the market. With their success on the last device i.e. “OnePlus 3”, the company achieved many milestones. But they were lagging in some aspects like camera. The 16GB rear camera captured good quality pictures but was having problems competing with the other giants like Apple and Samsung. OnePlus CEO thanked Apple Company to guide the market in terms of Camera and Specification of smartphones.

Camera Improvement

For overcoming these issues, OnePlus came up with 20MP dual Camera claiming Large Aperture, Effortless Clarity and Faster Autofocus. The dual camera lets you focus on your object and blurs the background, which is the same effect we generally witness with DSLRs. They also claim the highest resolution dual camera on the planet with an intelligent software to measure depth and focus. Talking about the focus, which is 40% faster than OnePlus 3T, is great achievement.

With all metal body, the phone is durable and it weighs around 154 grams, which is very lightweight to hold. Edges of the phone are rounded this time, which makes the design very elegant.
